The Seligman Inlet is a sweeping bay on the Bowman Coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . It lies between Choyce Point in the north and Cape Freeman in the south.
Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) photographed them from the air in 1940. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey took in 1947 a mapping before and named the bay after Gerald Seligman (from 1886 to 1973), founder and first president of the later International glaciological society renamed British Glaciological Society .
